British model Liberty Ross has found herself at the centre of bizarre, unwanted attention this morning as a US news outlet falsely claimed her husband, Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, has been having an affair with actress Kristen Stewart, who played Snow White in the big-budget film.

Celebrity gossip and entertainment publication US Weekly claimed to have photographic evidence of Sanders and Stewart embracing, even publishing one of the photos on their cover. However, the offending article has now been removed from the magazine’s website following accusations – mainly from die-hard Kristen fans on Twitter - of Photoshop trickery, thus suggesting their claims are entirely false.

They claim that Kristen’s face has been digitally imposed onto Ross’ body, pointing out that the shoulder in the picture is extremely bony, unlike Kristen’s, but very much like Sander’s model wife’s, and also that the hairline matches Ross’. Some Kristen fans have even posted the photo from which Kristen's face appears to have been lifted - ironically it's a picture in which she is seen with boyfriend Robert Pattinson.

There were also Twitter rumblings that Ross called an Australian radio station earlier this morning and confirmed that it is indeed her in the photos, saying "no no no that is me in the picture. It is a sad part of being in this industry." However, the radio station, B105 Brisbane, has denied that Ross had been in contact with them.

Adding further fuel to the already somewhat confusing fire, Ross, who played Snow White’s mother in the film, has deleted her Twitter account.

Ross and Sanders married in 2003 and have two young children, Skyla and Tennyson. She was spotted by both Corinne Day and Storm models founder Sarah Doukas on London's Portobello Road as a teenager and went on appear on the cover of British Vogue. Although she still models, she has recently moved into the acting world, gaining small parts in both Madonna's W.E. as well as Snow White and the Huntsman, which was her husband's directorial debut.
